A Zero Hedge comment
Last week the Marxist quasi-dictator of Bolivia, Evo Morales, presented Pope Francis with a gift — a carved wooden hammer-and-sickle cross on which the figure of Christ is crucified.
The Vatican announced that the pope had not been informed in advance about the gift. And some commentators said that photos of the pope and Morales show that the pope was actually offended. That was a false — probably wishful — interpretation. The pope himself later announced that he was keeping the hammer-and-sickle crucifix and taking it home, saying, “I understand this work. For me it wasn’t an offense.”
And “Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi . . . said he personally wasn’t offended by Morales’ gift” (the Guardian).
The pope’s acceptance of Morales’s gift — along with his attacks on capitalism during his Latin American tour — further confirms one of the most troubling moral developments of our time: The Roman Catholic Church is currently led by a man whose social, political, and economic views have been shaped by leftism more than by any other religious or moral system.
In terms of evil committed, what is the difference between the hammer and sickle and the swastika? Would the pope receive, let alone keep, a Fascist, racist, or Nazi sculpture with a crucified Christ on it? Of course not. Yet the hammer and sickle represents more human suffering than all of them combined. The number of people enslaved and murdered under the hammer and sickle dwarfs the number of people enslaved and murdered by any other doctrine in history.
To make things worse, Pope Francis received this gift from a man (Morales) wearing a picture of Che Guevara on his jacket. Is that, too, not worthy of condemnation by the Vatican? Che Guevara devoted his life to undermining human liberty, and to killing innocents in the name of Communism.
What if, in a visit to an American museum, American artist Andres Serrano had presented Pope Francis with a gift — his work of art, Piss Christ — that features a crucifix in a jar of Serrano’s urine?
Would the pope have accepted it? Would he have brought it home?
There could not have been a gift that more accurately represents this pope’s value system than Christ crucified on a hammer and sickle. First, in a literal sense, that is exactly what Communists have done wherever they have assumed power — crucified Christ by working to violently destroy Christianity and murder Christians. Second, in a figurative sense, the gift represents the mélange of Christianity and Marxism, precisely what much of the Church — again, especially in Latin America, and especially in the person of this pope — stands for.

That wouldn’t be some sort of “conspiracy theory” would it?
It does remind me of what happened in Brazil, not by a genuine coup, but by spinning the elections by the SCL Group’s Steve Bannon…
For some reason our “friend of liberty” was shylling for the Zionist president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, calling anybody that is against him a “commie”…
Why was Brazil’s president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva locked up in prison for 12 years? Could this have anything to do with Lula’s government recalling its ambassador to Israel because of that summer’s war in Gaza, calling Israeli military actions there a “massacre”, in 2014?
Jair Bolsonaro has promised to move Brazil’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and shutdown the Palestinian embassy in Brazil.
See from left to right, Jair's sons, Carlos and Eduardo Bolsonaro walking in Israel, with t-shirts supporting Israel's intelligence services Mossad and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
In Brazil, it is Trump’s long-time friend and adviser, the billionaire Carl Icahn, who will profit from the new policies of the Bolsonaro administration.
Icahn will also profit from the 25% tariff on steel, and exemption for Brazil, from the Trump administration: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post6736726

I am not a proponent of Israel and there are many other issues in the world.
Not everyone who opposes Israel is a saint and not everyone who supports Israel is worse than anyone who opposes it.
Trying to make everything in the world about Israel will cause you to take terrible positions.

So you would vote for Bernie and let him turn America into a communist country as long as he cut off Israel?
And you would vote against a candidate that promised to reduce government across the board because they weren't anti-Israel?

He claims he wants to cut off foreign aid to Israel.
But that's not the point.
I used him as a theoretical example and asked if you would support someone like him if they cut off Israel and oppose a small government candidate that supported Israel.
Would you support Stalin or Mao or Che if they opposed Israel?
Would you oppose Ron Paul if he supported Israel?

Nice deflection, whatever it means.
This conversation is about an actual communist who opposes Israel vs. a relatively small government politician who does things like restoring gun rights to his people who happens to be on friendly terms with Israel.
Israel as an issue doesn't trump all other issues.

What does communism have to do with liberty?
There are many different facets of liberty and you can't declare that one trumps all others and then support a communist because he opposes Israel and oppose another politician who holds far more liberty positions because he supports Israel.

Nobody is arguing with that.
You entered a conversation that was about whether Lula (a communist) was a saint because he opposed Israel and whether Bolsonaro (someone who is reducing government and increasing liberty) is the devil because he is friendly with Israel.
You don't get to change the subject.
